Doing Well vs. Feeling Well: Understanding Family Dynamics and the Psychological Adjustment of Chinese Immigrant Adolescents 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Desirée Baolian Qin 《Journal of youth and adolescence》2008,37(1):22-35
Despite their average high levels of educational achievement, Asian American students often report poor psychological and
social adjustment, suggesting an achievement/adjustment paradox. Yet, the reasons for this paradox remain unclear. Drawing
on 5-year longitudinal qualitative interview data, this paper compares the family dynamics of two groups of adolescents from
Chinese immigrant families: non-distressed adolescents (n = 20) who have high levels of academic achievement and high levels of psychological well-being; and distressed adolescents (n = 18) who have high levels of academic achievement but low levels of psychological well-being. Findings suggest that the
two groups of families differed in parenting approaches after migration, parent–child communication, parental expectations,
and parent–child relations. Implications for Asian American adolescent and youth development are discussed.

This study applies latent growth curve analysis to data from three waves of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent
Health (n = 10,828) and finds that symptoms of depression and social support interact with one another in a dynamic fashion across
the transition from adolescence (mean age at Wave 1 = 15.28 years) to young adulthood (mean age at Wave 3 = 21.65 years).
Parental support during adolescence is inversely associated with initial symptoms of depression for girls and boys, although
adolescent girls with low levels of parental support begin the study period with significantly higher levels of depressive
symptomatology than their male counterparts. In addition, adolescents who begin the study period with higher levels of depressive
symptomatology report less parental support during young adulthood. Finally, regardless of their initial level of depressive
symptoms, girls and boys who experience increased symptoms of depression over time also report lower levels of parental support
at the end of the study period.

This study utilized data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to investigate youth risk trajectories for HIV and
factors associated with different trajectories. The sample (N = 8,208) was 49.2% female, with a mean age of 14.31 (SD = 1.48). A group-based trajectory model was applied, which identified four distinct trajectories for both males and females:
(1) consistently higher sexual risk levels, increasing to early adulthood followed by some decrease (“high”); (2) a short
period of increase to late teens, followed by a longer period of decrease (“decreased”); (3) an initially slow increase, with
the increase accelerating by late teens, and a slight decline beginning in early adulthood (“increased”); and (4) consistently
lowest levels of sexual risk (“low”). More African Americans were found among the decreased trajectory group; among the low
risk group a higher number of youth came from families with parents who spoke a language other than English. The high-risk
group had a higher percentage of subjects in non-metropolitan areas and highest alcohol use. Among males, being employed and
being in the military were associated with inclusion in the high-risk group. Results have implications for specializing prevention
strategies for youth with different patterns of sexual risk.

A longitudinal daily diary method was employed to examine the implications of family assistance for the academic achievement
of 563 adolescents (53% female) from Mexican (n = 217), Chinese (n = 206), and European (n = 140) backgrounds during the high school years (mean age 14.9 years in 9th grade to 17.8 years in 12th grade). Although
changes in family assistance time within individual adolescents were not associated with simultaneous changes in their Grade
Point Averages (GPAs), increases in the proportion of days spent helping the family were linked to declines in the GPAs of
students from Mexican and Chinese backgrounds. The negative implications of spending more days helping the family among these
two groups was not explained by family background factors or changes in study time or school problems. These results suggest
that the chronicity rather than the amount of family assistance may be difficult for adolescents from Mexican and Chinese
backgrounds.

This study investigated the relation of adolescent same-sex attraction to “successful development” (Baltes, P. B., Am. Psychol. 32:366–380, 1997). Based on a survey of high-school adolescents, four groups were defined according to the nature of self-reported sexual attraction: exclusively heterosexual (EHA; n=3594); mostly heterosexual (MHA; n=124); bisexual (BSA; n=122); and same-sex attraction (SSA, n=36). Groups were compared across multiple intrapersonal, interpersonal, and environmental domains based on mean group differences and prevalence of developmental assets. Although the EHA group reported the most positive status across domains, several similarities among the groups were noted. Groups did not differ significantly in friendship quality and perceptions of school climate in the mean group comparisons, as well as academic orientation and (low) peer victimization in the assets-based analyses. Implications for successful development among adolescents reporting same-sex attraction are discussed along with the integration of the study of non-heterosexual youth into mainstream adolescent research.

The association between sexual debut timing and depressive symptomatology in adolescence and emerging adulthood was examined
using data from Waves I, II and III of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Respondents who reported never
having sexual intercourse at Wave I and were 18–22 years of age at Wave III were included (n = 5,061). Twenty percent of respondents experienced early (<age 16) and 49% experienced typical (ages 16–18) sexual debut.
In bivariate analyses, pre-debut depressive symptoms were associated with earlier sexual debut among female but not male adolescents.
In models adjusting for demographic characteristics and pre-debut depressive symptoms, sexual debut was positively related
to adolescent (Wave II) depressive symptomatology, but only among female adolescents age less than sixteen. However, sexual
debut timing was unassociated with emerging adult (Wave III) depressive symptomatology for both male and female respondents.
Findings suggest sexual debut timing does not have implications for depressive symptomatology beyond adolescence.

Consistent with the view that adolescent relationships are established in the context of important characteristics of their
social networks, we examined the effects of adolescents’ experiences of parenting (psychological control and positive monitoring)
and of peer aggression and victimization, on their self reports of dating victimization and aggression. We also examined the
effects of individual differences in emotional and behavioral problems. We used questionnaire data from a population-based
sample of youth 12–18 years old who were in dating relationships (n = 149). Parental monitoring emerged as a protective factor in reducing both dating victimization and relational aggression.
Our findings also point to a significant transfer of aggression in peer relationships to relational aggression in dating relationships.

Within an ethnically diverse sample of young adults (n = 223, 26% Latin American, 14% Asian American, 32% Filipino American, 28% European American), average levels of ethnic identity
was found to vary significantly across different relational contexts. Regardless of ethnicity, young adults reported highest
levels of ethnic exploration and ethnic belonging with parents, followed by same-ethnic peers, then different-ethnic peers.
Significantly greater variation between relational contexts generally was found for ethnic exploration compared to ethnic
belonging. Greater variation in ethnic identity, particularly between same-ethnic and different-ethnic contexts was associated
with lower self-esteem, positive affect, relational competence, and higher negative affect, though these liabilities were
only found for European American youth. The discussion emphasizes the importance of examining ethnic identity as a dynamic
construct that can vary as a function of relationships, and proposes directions for future research.

The aim of this five-wave longitudinal study was to investigate the relationship between anxiety and adolescent identity development.
Participants were 1,313 adolescents who annually completed measures of anxiety and identity. Growth Mixture Modeling (GMM)
analyses demonstrated that the adolescent population was best typified by two latent growth trajectory classes: a low anxiety class (n = 1,199) characterized by a low initial level of anxiety that decreased over time and a high anxiety class (n = 114) characterized by a higher initial level of anxiety that increased over time. To answer our research question, we tested
a model in which the anxiety classes predicted initial levels and rates of change of three identity dimensions: commitment,
in-depth exploration, and reconsideration of commitment. Findings indicated that the high anxiety adolescents displayed a
more troublesome identity development than their low anxiety peers, since their commitments became weaker with age, and they
reconsidered them intensively.

The Building Bridges to General Practice (BBGP) program is an outreach initiative. It aims to reduce young peoples’ perceived knowledge- and belief-based barriers
to engaging in treatment and to increase their behavioral intentions to consult a general medical practitioner (GP) for physical
and psychological problems. By increasing intentions, the BBGP program aims to increase actual consultations with a GP for
both types of problem. A quasi-experimental nested design was used to evaluate the effect of the intervention in three Australian
high schools. A Treatment group (n = 173, M = 16 years) and Comparison group (n = 118, M = 15 years) completed questionnaires of perceived barriers, intentions and self-reported consultations with a GP. Questionnaires
were completed 1 week before the intervention, 5 then 10 weeks post-intervention. The Treatment group, but not the Comparison
group, showed reductions in perceived barriers over time, increased intentions to consult a GP for psychological problems
and a significant correlation between intentions and subsequent GP consultations. Results support the utility of the intervention
for improving adolescents’ beliefs, intentions and behavior related to consulting a GP for physical and psychological problems.

This study was designed to describe the conflict resolution practices used in Mexican American adolescents’ friendships, to
explore the role of cultural orientations and values and gender-typed personality qualities in conflict resolution use, and
to assess the connections between conflict resolution and friendship quality. Participants were 246 Mexican American adolescents
(M = 12.77 years of age) and their older siblings (M = 15.70 years of age). Results indicated that adolescents used solution-oriented strategies most frequently, followed by
nonconfrontation and control strategies. Girls were more likely than boys to use solution-oriented strategies and less likely
to use control strategies. Familistic values and gender-typed personality qualities were associated with solution-oriented
conflict resolution strategies. Finally, conflict resolution strategies were related to overall friendship quality: solution-oriented
strategies were positively linked to intimacy and negatively associated with friendship negativity, whereas nonconfrontation
and control strategies were associated with greater relationship negativity.

The purpose of this study was to extend the current literature on forms (i.e., physical and relational) and functions (i.e.,
proactive and reactive) of participants’ cognitions and beliefs about aggressive behavior. Participants included an ethnically
diverse group of emerging adults (N = 165; M = 19.05 years; SD = 1.55) and completed a battery of self-report instruments. Gender differences for subtypes of physical
aggression were found. Impulsivity was associated with all subtypes of aggression. Results showed that reactive physical aggression
was uniquely associated with hostile attribution biases for instrumental provocation situations. Reactive relational aggression
was uniquely associated with hostile attribution biases for relational provocation scenarios. Findings indicated links between
self-reported subtypes of aggressive behavior and normative beliefs of aggression. Ways in which this study extends the extant
literature are discussed.

In this study, we analyzed the relationships among overt and relational victimization and adolescents’ satisfaction with friends.
We also tested the influence of the need for affective relationships with friends. A total of 409 Italian adolescent boys
and girls (age range = 14–16, M = 15.02 years, SD = 2.58) completed a self-report measure of overt and relational victimization, a measure of satisfaction
with friends, and a scale to assess the individual need for affective relationships. A negative association between both forms
of victimization and levels of satisfaction with friends was found. As hypothesized, the need for affective relationships
with friends moderated the relation between relational, but not overt, victimization and satisfaction with friends: Adolescents
who reported more need for affective relationships reported the lowest levels of satisfaction when relationally victimized.

While few studies have identified predictors of exiting homelessness among adults, even fewer studies have attempted to identify
these predictors among homeless youth. The current study explored predictors of change in homelessness among 180 homeless
youth between the ages of 14 and 22, recruited through an urban drop-in center. All youth were assessed at baseline, 3 and
6 months. The sample included 118 males and the reported ethnicity included Latino (n = 54), Anglo (n = 73), Native American (n = 24), African American (n = 6) and mixed ethnicity or “other” (n = 23). Four distinct patterns of change in homelessness were identified among youth which included those who (1) had fairly
low rates of homelessness at each follow-up point, (2) started in the mid-range of homelessness, increased at 3 months and
sharply declined at 6-months (MHL), (3) reported high rates of homelessness at baseline and low rates at each follow-up point
(HLL), and finally, (4) remained consistently homeless across time (HMH). These patterns of change were most strongly predicted
by social connections and engagement in HIV risk behaviors. The findings from this study suggest that developing trust and
linkages between homeless youth and service providers may be a more powerful immediate target of intervention than targeting
child abuse issues, substance use and mental health problems.

The purpose of this study was to gain a clearer understanding of the relation between parents’ knowledge of their emerging-adult
children and emerging adults’ risk behaviors. Participants included 200 undergraduate students between the ages of 18 and
25 (121 women, 78 men; M
age = 19.59, SD = 1.62) and both of their parents. Results revealed that knowledge of the emerging-adult child’s activities varied as a function
of parent- and child-reports, and that child outcomes associated with parental knowledge were generally positive, including
less drinking, drug use, and risky sexual behavior (although this varied as a function of reporter). The links between maternal
knowledge and lower drug and alcohol use were particularly strong in the presence of maternal closeness. Implications for
understanding the parent–child relationship during the transition to adulthood were discussed.

Self-reported ethnic labels were examined among 242 young American adults with Chinese ancestry (age range = 18–32 years,
M = 23.97; 73% female, 27% male). Ethnic labels fell under broad categories whereby 22% reported heritage national labels (e.g.,
Chinese), 35% added American to their heritage national label (e.g., Chinese American), and 42% reported panethnic-American
labels (e.g., Asian American). Logistic regressions revealed that generation and ethnic exploration significantly predicted
the odds of choosing heritage national and heritage national-American labels. Ethnic label choice was not associated with
average differences in the ethnic diversity of youths’ community or peer group, or with heritage language proficiency. However,
label choice was associated with generation, ethnic identity, and English proficiency. Ethnic labels also were linked to self-esteem
and positive relationships with Asian peers, with most optimal outcomes reported by youth who chose heritage national-American
labels.

The current cross-sectional study investigated the links between various dimensions of organized activity involvement and
depressive symptoms, loneliness, and peer victimization in an ethnically and economically diverse sample of adolescents (N = 152; 58% female). Results indicate that adolescents who were involved in organized activities for more years also reported
lower levels of loneliness. There was evidence of diminishing returns when adolescents were very highly involved in organized
activities; those who were either under- or over-involved reported the highest levels of depressive symptoms. Conversely,
findings indicate that adolescents who participated in a narrow or wide range of activity contexts reported the lowest levels
of depressive symptoms. In addition, results suggested that the relation between organized activity involvement and adjustment
differs among adolescents from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. Findings from the current study also underscore
the importance of considering multiple indices of activity involvement when assessing its association with adjustment.

Religiosity and Alcohol Use in Sexual Minority and Heterosexual Youth and Young Adults 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Despite interest in the role of religiosity in youth development and health behavior, few studies have examined these associations
in sexual minority youth. Participants (n = 11,699) who were adolescents (wave 1) and young adults (wave 3) in the Add Health survey were used to examine proximal
and distal religiosity by sexual identity group and to test group differences in associations between religiosity and alcohol
use. Sexual minorities were less likely than heterosexuals to report a current religious affiliation. In young adulthood,
heterosexual females reported significantly higher distal and proximal religiosity than heterosexual males and sexual minority
young adults. From adolescence to young adulthood, religiosity in all three sexual identity groups (heterosexual, bisexual,
gay/lesbian) significantly declined, with the largest effects found for the sexual minority groups. Distal and proximal religiosity
scores were significantly associated with less alcohol use and less binge drinking among heterosexuals, but not among sexual
minorities. Future studies of sexual minority youth and their religious contexts are suggested.

This study draws on the social-discount and social-rejection hypotheses to examine the effect of perceived discrimination
on immigrant youths’ depressive moods, self-efficacy, and preferences for in-group socialization experiences. Data from a
panel study of immigrant young adolescents (aged 12–18) who came to Israel from countries of the former Soviet Union during
the preceding 6 years was used (n = 732). The average age of participants was 15.5 years; and 50% were boys. Partial support emerged for the social-rejection
hypothesis: perceived discrimination increases depressive moods and reduces self-esteem. Yet increased perceived discrimination
did not increase the preference for in-group socialization. Perceived discrimination seems to be detrimental to individuals’
psychological well-being but apparently does not hinder social integration.

A focus on antisocial beliefs and attitudes has informed both the assessment and treatment literature, and practice, in youth
justice service provision. This study attempts to broaden the construct of antisocial beliefs and attitudes and reports on
the psychometric development of the Antisocial Beliefs and Attitudes Scale (ABAS). The ABAS is a new instrument for measuring
antisocial thinking in older children and adolescents, which is developmentally-sensitive, broad-based, and assesses domains
grounded in the empirical literature on childhood conduct problems and delinquency. Along with a self-reported measure of
antisocial behavior, the ABAS was administered to 425 school children aged 10–18 (M = 14.18; SD = 2.31). A meaningful factor structure emerged from our instrument with two of the three factors, Rule Non-Compliance
and Peer Conflict, predicting self-reported antisocial behavior while demonstrating sensitivity to age and gender. These findings
are encouraging in our aim to “bridge” the measurement gap, by developing a reliable and valid measure of antisocial thinking
applicable to older children and adolescents.
